Abstract
A surgical instrument comprises a first member including a drive engageable with a first mating surface of a bone fastener. A second member is rotatable relative to the first member and includes an engagement element connectable with a second mating surface of the bone fastener. A part is disposed with the first member and being alternately connectable with an actuator and an adaptor attachable with an image guide. Systems, surgical adaptors, spinal implants and methods are disclosed.
Claims19
A surgical instrument comprising:
- a first member including a drive engageable with a first mating surface of a bone fastener, the first member comprising an inner surface defining a channel, the first member including an outer sleeve having a maximum length defined by a distance from a proximal end surface to an opposite distal end surface, the drive protruding distally from the distal end surface, the drive being located radially inward relative to the inner surface;
- a second member defining a central longitudinal axis, the second member being positioned in the channel such that the central longitudinal axis intersects the drive and the second member is rotatable relative to the first member, the second member including an engagement element connectable with a second mating surface of the bone fastener;
- and
- a part disposed with the first member and being alternately connectable with an actuator and an adaptor attachable with an image guide.

A spinal implant system comprising:
- a surgical instrument including an outer sleeve having a drive engageable with a bone fastener shaft, the outer sleeve defining a channel, the surgical instrument including an inner sleeve defining a channel and a central longitudinal axis, the inner sleeve being positioned in the channel such that the central longitudinal axis intersects the drive and the inner sleeve is rotatable relative to the outer sleeve, the outer sleeve having a maximum length defined by a distance from a proximal end surface to an opposite distal end surface, the drive protruding distally from the distal end surface, the drive being located radially inward relative to the inner surface, the inner sleeve including an element connectable with a threaded surface of a bone fastener receiver;
- a part disposed with the outer sleeve;
- a removable handle being connectable with the part and engageable with the inner sleeve for rotation therewith;
- an adaptor being connectable with the part;
- and
- an image guide attachable with the adaptor and oriented relative to a sensor to communicate a signal representative of a position of the surgical instrument.
